<p>Dear NRHC Family,</p>

<p>I trust by now you have heard about our annual Christmas Give offering and the project we will be supporting. This
year, the first $25,000 received will fully fund a Compassion Child Survival Program in Gebre Guracha, Ethiopia for one
year. This program provides critical needs for 35 mothers and their babies during pregnancy and the first 4 years
following birth. The video below gives an overview of this incredible program.</p>

<p>We will be able to receive updates and stories of how God is working in the project throughout the year. In fact, we
just received an update that in the last 3 months, 3 of the caregivers at the project trusted Jesus as Savior! This is
an incredible opportunity to give physical and spiritual life and care to many.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m praying that you will participate in the Christmas Give offering on Sunday, December 16. That morning, we
will have a special time of giving in both services. You can find more information or make your donation early by
visiting our website: <a href="http://northrockhill.com/give/christmas-give"

<p>I&rsquo;m excited about the opportunities God is giving us to &ldquo;Be Rich.&rdquo; I can&rsquo;t wait to see how
lives are changed as we respond in faith!</p>

<p>Until All Hear,<br>
Jay</p>
